About Saffire - The Uppity Blues Women

It's not often that dreams come true. In the case of the acoustic blues trio, Saffire--The Uppity Blues Women, that's just what happened. Over the course of nine recordings and thousands of gigs, the group has gone from virtual obscurity to one of the most popular, witty, and just plain satisfying acoustic blues groups on the scene today. These women tear into their material with passion, dedication, and originality. Every song they cover becomes theirs, and their originals blend seamlessly with their interpretations. They are indeed the torchbearers for the original classic uppity blues women like Bessie Smith, Sippie Wallace and Victoria Spivey.

The members of Saffire--The Uppity Blues Women are: Gaye Adegbalola, Andra Faye, and Ann Rabson.

According to the gospels Mark and John, Mary Magdalene was the first person to see Jesus after he rose from the dead. All four canonical Gospels attest that she witnessed Jesus' crucifixion and burial. The 21st century has seen a restoration of Mary Magdalene as a patron of women's ministry. This is in direct opposition to other notions that she was a repentant prostitute.

In this day and age and women STILL need to fight to keep the patriarch from taking away their right to choose....

...I would like to introduce a bill that states all men who are suspected of rape must undergo a mandatory castration?

Shame on the state of Virginia for allowing such archaic behavior in government.

On this day in 1967 Josef Stalin's only daughter, Svetlana Alliluyeva, defected to the West. She requested political asylum at the United States Embassy in India.

Success has many faces; it need not be circumscribed by a title, a job, a cause. Success is not always "getting." It is more often "giving." It does not consist of what we do, but rather of what we are. Success is not always an accomplishment. It can be a state of mind. The quiet dignity of a home, the relationship of the individuals in that home. The continuing expression of an inquiring mind can mean more in terms of success than all the surface symbols of status.

The most influential woman in my life. My LauraMom.

For adopting all of us strays.
For driving a purple car.
For marrying her best friend; the most amazing butch ever.
For being the most fierce femme I know.
For teaching me to make bagels.
For teaching her cooking class about safe sex while stuffing sausage.
For packing me a picnic lunch for the airplane every time I leave back to school.

For teaching me kindness - something every great woman should learn.

For being famous in our lives.
